Improved deployment pipeline visibility with generally good support
My primary use case involves working with GitHub for code management. I have extensive experience using it for various tasks, such as creating repositories, managing pull requests, and utilizing GitHub Actions for automating workflows GitHub contributes to efficient project management by…
Jos Badimo - PeerSpot reviewer
Test assurance improves compliance and products with good performance
The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation. The most significant issue I encounter with the solution is the user interface. It would be beneficial if I could remain on one screen most of the time. Even if the system navigates me to another screen, it should effectively return me to the main screen.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The features that I have found most valuable are that it can support you for most of the road map and it can automate some tasks which works really well with collaboration with the teams. They are really interested in how they organize the history of the code itself which is good."
"GitHub's version control is valuable."
"The Projects Tab, which shows you the todo list and the progress for projects, is very helpful."
"It has a lot of features from the code development perspective. You get a lot of features such as repo, commit, merge, and branch. You can play around and do things on the fly. It is easy and simple to deploy. It is also easier to use when working from home."
"This product allows us to easily collaborate on development tasks with our subcontractors, and control the workflow as the project progresses."
"The most important feature of GitHub is the maintainability of the versions of the code."
"It's beneficial for managing multiple tasks and controlling versions of your product."
"The most valuable aspects of GitHub are version control and parallel development. I also appreciate the forking part, which allows us to release a specific set of features to the environment."
"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."
"CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function."
"The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator."
"CyberFlood is flexible."
"Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer."
"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."
 

Cons

"Regarding improvements, I preferred the tool's earlier pricing model, which limited storage and the number of repositories instead of the number of users, which was more convenient from a customer perspective. I've also experienced issues with GitHub servers being unable to support moving repositories, which caused problems. For basic plans, no support was available to help resolve these issues. I think GitHub should provide more support for smaller businesses to help with these problems."
"Github needs more storage."
"GitHub could add more security features. I am not sure how secure it is. If they provide more security features, then it can be used in more official applications."
"When I was new, I faced challenges with Git commands, such as reversing or deleting mistakes."
"It would be good if there were training materials for junior developers."
"The ticketing system is not working."
"The solution's cost is high and should be reduced."
"There could be some improvements related to the automation of certain processes, especially with the integration of artificial intelligence."
"The initial setup is not straightforward and can be quite challenging."
"The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes."
"The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation."
"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better."
"I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule."
"Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."
"It is open-source. There is no license for GitHub."
"The tool offers a free program. As you go, you can upgrade from the community version to the professional one. I believe it costs about ten dollars per person, per month."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"I use the free version of GitHub."
"I think, in terms of price, GitHub is okay compared to other tools."
"The basic licensing model is free, and if you need to have technical support and such things, then it does cost something. You only need to pay extra if you need technical support."
"GitHub is an open-source application. It's free to use."
"CyberFlood is reasonably priced."
